This is it. Cold baths are here. It's been nice to know you all, I'll see you in the afterlife. Kidding. I'll post a challenge. Or something. I guess.

For those who have been following me lately, you already know that I’ve been feeling a bit low and with no energy, but I’ve done my best to put in place some nice and helpful routines, like taking some time for meditation and relaxation everyday, and improving my nutrition by eating lots of vegetables. Now my next step would be to come back to my previous fitness level, trying to remember how I felt last year: self-defence, acrobatics, running cross-country… I can barely believe I could do all of that. It was me, right? You all remember, right? It wasn’t a dream, RIGHT?? The picture is rather different today. Walking briskly leaves me breathless and I don’t think I could do a wall handstand right now, not even an inclined one. However, I miss it SO MUCH, that I am willing to at least try to come back on track. My plans: - Start TODAY with something flashy, like a full energy parallettes workout; - Do another parallettes workout during the week. I am SURE I can find the time. If I don’t, it is laziness, not lack of time; - Try to go once to the woods and mix walking with running. - After I come back from London, I MUST go back to self-defence. It is going to be tough, I will give myself plenty of excuses*, I will probably want to leave the moment I’ll reach the door, but it is something I have to do. For my body’s sake. *I have some rehearsals in the mornings that week and I am sure my mind will try to tell me I don’t have the time, but I received a call last week from the gym: they’ve changed their schedules and now they offer self-defence 5 mornings a week, instead of 2, so there is no way I can use the “I don’t have time” excuse. That’s the schedule for the first 2 weeks. After that, I will see which are the results and will decide where I go from there. The ultimate and main goal is to appreciate again the wonders of an active body, the thrill of going a bit further, and to rekindle the love for shiny things.
